OpenMesh.Core.IO.reader.BaseReader

class BaseReader ;

Base class for reader modules. Reader modules access persistent data and pass them to the desired data structure by the means of a BaseImporter derivative. All reader modules must be derived from this class.

abstract char[] get_description ();

Returns a brief description of the file type that can be parsed.

abstract char[] get_extensions ();

Returns a string with the accepted file extensions separated by a whitespace and in small caps.

char[] get_magic ();

Return magic bits used to determine file format

abstract bool read (char[] _filename, BaseImporter _bi, ref Options _opt);

Reads a mesh given by a filename. Usually this method opens a stream and passes it to stream read method. Acceptance checks by filename extension can be placed here.

bool can_u_read (char[] _filename);

Returns true if reader can parse filename (checks extension)
